paroles de chanson Living the Dream - Sturgill Simpson

Time and time again Lord I've been going through the motions
As a means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet
Walking around just living the dream anytime I take the notion
'Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet
Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream
I don't need to change my strings
'Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing
Oh, I don't have to do a goddamn thing, sit around and wait to die
Well I been waiting on an angel waitress
Come and take my order
Tell me all about the special today
Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder
Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today
That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile
Staring down on the chaos he created
Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while
Momma's gonna wash it all away
And she thinks Mercy's overrated
Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream
I don't need to change my strings
'Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing
Oh, I don't have to do a goddamn thing, sit around and wait to die
Oh, I don't have to do a goddamn thing, sit around and wait to die
